TBF to Pringle, for a very brief while in the early 90s he did a passable impression of a test seamer, in English conditions anyway.

In tests at least, I'd say the archetypal "non-rounder" is CZ Harris. Whilst a doughty and stout hearted ODI performer, test averages of 20.44 for batting and 73.12 for bowling from 23 tests tell their own story.

Chris Harris averaged 39 with the bat and 23 with the ball against England. A genuine all-rounder if ever there was one.

But seriously, the guy is a personal hero of mine, it's heartbreaking to know that his Test numbers lump him in with some of these blokes.

Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta

Agreed - Pring was definitely maligned unfairly - had he been built like an athlete, rather than a podgy version of Lurch from the Addams Family, then I'm sure he'd be remembered rather differently

Nonsense, and dangerous nonsense, at that. The bloke was a ****ing disgrace on all but the most ploughed field of pitches. His batting was just stodgy rubbish, the cove was the archetype of this thread.

BTW, I was always in the mid-90s, when in my cups, an advocate for Dermot Reeve captaining England.

Speaking of which is it too early to start drinking, I've got Rice beer, surely that's a bit like Rice Krispies?
